Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
Don't see dey misfortune
Guess they just too lazy

J'suis le Grand Zombie
My yellow belt of choison
Ain't afraid of no tom cat
Fill my brains with poison

Walk thru the fire
Fly thru the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of dey rope

Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on gilded splinters
King of the Zulu

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on guilded splinters

'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up

I rolled out my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And y'all feel my malice

Put gris-gris on your doorstep
Soon you'll be in the gutter
Melt your heart like butter
A-a-and I can make you stutter

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on gilded splinters

'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on guilded splinters

Coco Robichaux
Come on down to my soiree
Bring your parain, your Marie, your Mamie, your Dondi, your cousin
And the whole family
No fine de cose bonne?
La jovial la chandelle?
Se la fais la carabas?
Coco Robichaux
Coco Robichaux
Padre diablo?
Gran come the bride?

With your Coco Robichaux
With your Coco Robichaux

'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up

'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up ,'Til I Burn Up

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on gilded splinters
Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come
Walk on gilded splinters

Coco Robichaux
Dine at the soiree on the bayou

I remember when this album was new.  Hearing this song on FM radio was a little strange and unsettling.  It was exotic and wonderful.  I loved it then.  I still do.

Back in the 80s, I did the house mix for Dr. John & David Bromberg at an outdoor amphitheater. After they finished their sets They both came out and jammed together for a long 3rd set.  GREAT SHOW!

I can't believe this gets a lower rating that the Paul Weller cover of it.
Posted 2 years ago by trevc    [ Reply ]
It would've been tolerable at 3:00 ... still not good but interesting in a strange way, with a possibility of growing on you, sort of like a fungus ... and I suppose if I was tripping it might be okay, but then again, on a good trip, even Barney the purple dinosaur is good stuff ... but at 7:23, this song wore out its welcome ... sort of like my long-winded comment. But yes, I agree with the folks who say "Is this song ever going to end?"

A trippy -- and for some, disturbing -- song, by one of the trippiest musicians ever... One could make the case that perhaps everyone everywhere was tripping pretty hard in 1968; not just from the fruit of ergot on rye, or other fungal wonders, but from War, Politics, Religion, Racism, etc.  Even I was, too, though I was only six till the end of that year...like, a child is like a flower, man, his head is just floating in the breeze... I remember hearing and singing along to Dr. John on the radio, and, just as when I blurted out the best Mojo or Lou or Grace or Janis or Jimi lines of the times, I was met with stern disapproval. So, of course, I did it even more. -- And they're still there...

I used to think it was "Did I murder?" tho that pronunciation would be like Dr John doing a Bugs Bunny impression, so I shoulda known betta.

Bought the album in 1968, one of the many greats of that year, I wonder what happened to my copy?

For the last 50+ years I've been singing "Tell Alberta".

Now I find out it's "'Til I burn up"

I honestly have trouble understanding those who think this is too long or weird, or whatever the complaint du jour might be. This is brilliant stuff. 1968. These times (well, this is always true) will never be seen again. But those who dismiss this as too long : I don't have any perspective on your perspective.

Never heard this before! After 45 years of listening to music and 16 years here at RP, I am still discovering music. I have heard the Paul Weller version many times and enjoy it, but I must admit that I am having trouble adjusting to this original. Maybe when I hear this version a few more times?

1968? Seriously? Dr. John was so far ahead of his time.

I'm hearing this for the first time today. As a teenager in 1968, this would have been so far over my head. But now ... I'm just amazed.

Solid 9 from me.

RIP, Doc.

Well, hell, it's 1967 and I'm listening The X comin' out of Detroit. That's WABX to you uninitiated, new home to SF's trend-setting Larry Miller, credited with starting freeform radio that only RP emulates today (well, and maybe some college stations such as WNMC in Traverse City, MI).

My time capsule is elsewhere in these ramblings, but it goes something like this: I was attending an all boys, college-prep school (totally Dead Poets Society) in Bloomfield Hills, MI (home of the auto barons). One day there was a sign-up sheet to ride a school bus down to the Grande Ballroom (Detroit's answer to the Fillmore after "Uncle" Russ Gibb coaxed Bill Graham into instructing him how to put the whole thing together). We off to go see some group named Cream at a Sunday afternoon under-age concert. I had no idea who they were, but I was certain it would beat doing homework!

That was a life-altering experience, to say the least. More here.

He is thought to have a special regional flavor, but I'll stick to gumbo, thank you. He spent intermission of his show off in some corner backstage, trying very hard to look like he was composing music even as he was performing it. (So he was, you know, a musician 24 and 7.) No one cared. They thought he was antisocial, and his "composition" was just scribbles.

Marsha Hunt (NOT the actress!!) 1987 Walk On Gilded Splinters A hit in its day
I remember now! This was a protest song. Perhaps earlier than 1987. I think this date was a re-release. It came from the term 'wogs'. A (now) offically banned word which the Brits used back in time as a derogatory reference to any person from another country, but especially if non white. Walk On Gilded Splinters
